It is an see model therefor it is as good as newer Toshiba such as the encore2 or Samsung product. It was excellentIn its day but if you are looking for speed etc. the newer models would be better.

I am not the best gamer but this tablet runs fine with games. Speed is good. It runs fast and I have never experience slowness since i bought it.

It should be fine. My 5 year old plays Angry birds and a few other games on mine occasionally. One thing I noticed is that the tablet responds slowly when it's on wireless and trying to do auto syncs or updates. When I turned off the options and began syncing my apps on demand, it worked much better. I haven't tried it with games that really test the orientation sensors, but I think it'll be fine. I would recommend it at under $90. So far I've been happy with it. Hope this helps.

It's not a bad tablet; however, it's old already. I bought it sometime ago and I had to deal with the fact that it's not compatible with many popular apps nowadays. Mine stopped charging a few month ago and I assume it's because the circuit board the port it's attached to broke down. I would recommend a newer version.

It's worth every penny. I can play games online that I couldn't on an android or iOS device. It's more productivity oriented rather than game play oriented. I own a Fire and an iPad and this is by far what I would choose to use on a regular basis. Also you can't beat the battery life with the added keyboard dock.

I would go to the DELL site for more info on this tablet. All I know is this is the fastest tablet I have worked with. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I don't play games but it is supposed to be average on game performance. With quad core processor, 6G RAM and a fairly good video processor you should be OK. I use for Netflix and Youtube and the download and video performance is great. No problems whatsoever.

I have it, its my first foray into the tablet market. Been on laptops for the last 10 years and pcs before that. For an entry tab its freakin awesome. Especially at the price point, and considering the bugginess of honeycomb I am actually betting on the android community having a better version of froyo just for this tab.

well u got google play which will let you load games form google, and u should be able to load a apt from b&n; or google to load pdf files, i like to have the choice of a true nook and a true android tablet, i can load my kindle book and read on afn card for this, small price to pay for a duel boot tablet, its as fast a my asus 7 second generation that cost almost 3 times as much

If I had to hazard a guess it would be that the tablet does not have a quad core AMD like my laptop. Ours does not process at light speed but I expected that from a less expensive device. It still works fine but slower.

Yes, you can watch videos. But as far playing games I would not suggest this tablet because of the older operating system. I think it is android 3.4 and cannot be upgraded any further. This would make your gaming run at slower speed.

The release date was Aug 11, 2013, so no, no one has. I know in a year I will need a new faster one to keep up, it can't run some high in games and apps NOW. It's great LOW end tablet (low end but worth the $$). It runs JB 4.2 , 4.3 came out no update, KK 4.4 is out no update. With some games and apps using the latest new add ons from the newest android platform, makes older versions unable to run the game or app. Had mine since Oct 23, 2013. I learned the SD slot location sucks and the flex on the plastic body will make the sd card unmount. SO sd is backup and not something to count on 100%. I learn to do lots of cool stuff you got root it and void the warranty (otg cable, can plug in any usb now, keyboard, mouse and or joysticks)but that's most tablets. I learned how well a 7in fits in the hands compared to phones 4in and bigger tablets. I learned how much I love playing Gin Rummy in the outhouse and how much fun and mental work out puzzle games can be (Lazors). I learned that it will another low budget Asus that I get in 7-11 months to upgrade this one. I got my nephew 1 for Christmas, he loves it, wish I would have got another when the where on sale for $129 on here in Dec. I use it everyday but not heavy use. In a year it will not be obsolete but if I could sell it for $50 and get a new $150 2015 tablet it's worth $8 and some change a month for less headaches and a new and improved tablet.

It's a decent basic tablet, not great for gaming. Battery life is not great.

Games are for the most part not playable on this tablet. It's too laggy and the gravity sensor is awful. I mainly use it for some internet surfing, movie watching, netflix, and pandora.

Yeah, but it is a delicate device, mine broke after I dropped it on carpet. Other than that, you won't find a faster tablet on the market. Definitely better than the new ipads

Well, it's being used for playing games only and that's all it does for the person we bought it for so it's hard to give a definite answer. Less than 3 hours. Hope that helps. Overall, I don't recommend this particular tablet, at all, for anyone. Good luck!

The tablet is fantastic for OSU, I've been using it for around 6 months. It takes a while to get used to using it, but after adjusting your active area and finding something you feel comfortable with you can really start to skyrocket on skill level as long as you take the time to practice,

How do you determine what the CPU speed? Mine appears to have 8 GB, but the memory is partitioned poorly, 1GB Internal and 5.6GB NAND so you are not able to load many applications at all, even if you add an SD card and move some of the application data to SD. In short this thing is very disappointing. I have also seen a lot of issues running applications from the Play store. It is OK for a browser, Pandora, iHeart Radio, Dropbox and Citrix Reciever, but definitely not for games.
